Can we for once get some media where the plus size person doesn’t go on a whole weight loose journey to prove they have a right to be loved and to exist. It’s not the “compelling, uplifting story” yall think it is; It’s literally just fatphobia and telling fat people that unless they loose weight and keep it off that they aren’t worth being around. Do better

Something I honestly hate is when I am looking for books with a plus-size main character, and when I finally find a story that looks like it works, all the art for the "plus size" character is just a skinny woman. Like come fucking on, now.

I don't know about anyone else, but I am kinda pissed that Baldur's Gate 3 doesn't allow Tav to be fat.

Why in one of the best games of the year, do we still not have character creation that allows fat bodies to exist, in a fantasy game of all things? Are fat people not supposed to exist in a fantasy world?

Or do people deem fatness so negatively that when given an escape from reality, they couldn't understand why someone would want to be fat there too?

fatphobia in media rant tw fat people baldurs gate 3 may delete later i just don't understand what makes us not worth being mimicked in games no matter how much i hear about this game i still remember that Tav can never look like me and it just makes me not want to play it i am tired of it let fat people exist body neutrality I am not taking cop out answers for this bs you can make an orc but you can't make a fat person fishy as hell some mods may happen but maybe Im werid for thinking it should be a base part of the game.
